thanks... i had a look in to that and disabled it but that didn't solve the problem... my machine freezes every so-often so decided to try 64 bit version and that solved the problem...

may be the latest release of Ubuntu (Mint) would resolve this issue for me on 32-bit

That's the horrible point with Linux. It installs the X graphics once while installing the OS, then the changes are really horrible.I'm pretty sure that there is a menu somewhere saying something like "install the X-Windows environment", try it, it should ask you all questions concerning display, mouse and keyboard, this would re-install the suitable drivers for the new display.

i was thinking of selling my AMD HD 7850 to go back to expensive nVidia but decided its too much of a hassle and waste of $$$ ... but it is true that nVidia has better driver compatibility with Linux than AMD...
